of the House of Representatives have slammed Minister of Works David Umahi over the deteriorating road network in the country.

The House particularly expressed worry, saying that Umahi is not concerned about fixing Nigerian roads.

The Green Chamber stated this at a House hearing in which the Ministry’s Director of Bridges, Bede Obiora, blamed funding constraints for the bad condition of roads in the country.

Umahi was absent at the hearing.

However, Oseni, who represents Ibarapa/Ido Federal Constituency in Oyo State, countered the defense put up by the minister.

He said the Minister’s argument that there are no resources doesn’t stand, as the ministry was awarding more road contracts, stressing that Umahi had no plan for the nation.

“We are not here for you to tell us what you already knew in an area of resources. So if you’re telling us the reason you have failed in fixing our rural infrastructures is because of resources, don’t let me take you up there because you concentrated your resources as a Minister on less priority issues. Don’t discuss resources; I say this again.

“Again, all the roads we have across the country have failed. If you’re addressing these existing roads with the resources that you have, Sir, honourable minister, we wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now. Don’t discuss resources. I say it again.

“You came here last year and got N300 billion supplementary budget approval. Don’t raise my emotions. I am worried that you’re not concerned about fixing Nigerian roads.

“We are not here for the business of whether you don’t want to do the job or you want to do the job. Stop telling us you’re awarding roads. We don’t want you to be awarding roads that you’re not ready to do. How can you be telling us there’s no resources?

“In less than one minute, everything that everybody has said is a clue that you have no plan for us as a nation. You have no plan for us as a nation. I was wondering what was used as a benchmark for your appraisal.”

Radarada talk

The lawmakers are not reasonable. Umahi should fix all the roads in Nigeria in less than 24 month.

Some people doesn't have an idea how the government works.

Some ministers have limited spending powers, except you fall into the presidents pally group

Peter Obi advised this government to fix the existing roads before embarking on new more expensive roads but they wouldn't listen.

Odiegwu

Every road in Nigeria will be fixed in one year even the one leading to my father's compound.

Notice how he strategically sidbt mention the particular road like East-West Road or Kaduna-Kano Road or Lagos-Ibadan.

Noise makers.

Don't mind the idiots. What plan does Tinubu have for us as a nation?

They should keep making noise. Let them resign and come and do the job. How are they representing their constituents with good laws and projects if they are being appraised?

The highway they said will solve all problems of roads in Nigeria Lol . They quickly in a matter of days rushed into that road without any planning because their ultimate ambition wasn’t to complete the project or repair any of their mostly dilapidated federal roads across the country…..the ultimate target was to destroy the tourist paradise an Igbo man built which had brought in hundreds of thousands of tourists into Nigeria and revenue to government in the years before according to the international award winning YouTube travel content creator Wode Maya and CNN estimated its worth in December 2023 before tinubu and goons destroyed it at over $200m dollars. Tinubu ers celebrated the destruction of the Igbo man investment and we have seen the results today and confirmed that nothing that is based against Igbo will ever, ever, ever, ever succeed but will always end up in more failure, shame, pain and more generational poverty to the bitterness filled souls that ed it

This one can never blame Tinubu.
Umahi is actually doing nothing

Government does not listen to 3rd Class Philosophy graduates. Bring someone with a little intelligence forward

Unexpected.

Umahi is one of the best hands in the present istration.

Zombidients will always nonsense. What are you really saying?

And who are you?. Illiterate advising a billionaire presidential candidate with millions of followers.

They should consider the rainy season as a factor too,for slow pace of work.

But Tinupoops said he is the greatest thing after Lagos and Calabar Superhigh

It is a problem of misplaced priorities.

The government will rather spend trillions of naira on constructing coastal highway than fix or repair major roads.

I wonder what that ebonyi man still doing there as minister of work

After Wike, The next working Minister is Dave Umahi

Meanwhile, the thief in Aso Rock hurriedly signed out 1 Trillion for his Lebanese friend in the name of Lagos-Calabar superhighway.

When people like Peter Obi raised the alarm, his minions turned it into a tribal fight.

I pity the Calabar people who are waiting for a coastal highway ... lol
.

That's how they will start demoralising the ones they don't like

One minister after the other, smh

Is umahi your president?

Mumu NASS, when are they going to call out other ministers too or it depends on their region of origin?

U keep defending failures with your bulaba language

Nobody said that. The thrust of the discussion is that Umahi is putting the scarce resources we have into less or non priority projects like the Coastal Road and Sokoto Badagry road. There is no sense in neglecting critical roads that stimulate the national economy, and embarking on new projects

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this one your ing umahi

Tribalism is really dealing with us…… Many properties around that corner were destroyed but you chose to ignore them.
Now we don’t need to check names, Just by reading one’s quote, we already know where he/she is from.

Hopeless entities... If you see all manners of borehole and streetlight projects they are planning at the MDA's you will just hiss. This country is going no where

Has anyone ever had a plan for Nigeria??

Jokers everywhere! 😏

F

They are more interested in building new white elephant roads like the coastal rubbish and other roads that would fetch them cuts.

But this your comment is unintelligent to start with.
